My friend Ray Leppert sends me emails that have some interesting aspects, this is one of them. I think this could work.

This was an article from the St. Petersburg Times Newspaper onSunday. The Business Section asked readers for ideas on "HowWould You Fix the Economy?"Dear Mr. President,Patriotic retirement:There are about 40 million people over 50 in the work force; pay them $1 million each severance with stipulations:1) They leave their jobs. Forty million job openings - Unemployment fixed.2) They buy NEW American cars. Forty million cars ordered - Auto Industry fixed. 3) They either buy a house or pay off their mortgage- Housing Crisis fixed. All this and it's still cheaper than the"bailout."

About My Life

I'm Karl Barancik, with my wife, best friend, and lover Kathi. I am a husband, father, grandpa, pastor, life coach, and lover of life. I have been a pastor of a progressive, non denominational church for over 25 years. I have made some good choices during my lifetime, such as... heaven over hell, blessing over curse, forgiveness over regrets, Mac over PC, Kathi over 3 billion women, debt free over indebted, downsizing over upscale, Starbucks over Tim Hortons (sorry Canada), fathering over absence, God's Word over any other... and it has proved to be the right ones so far... still choosing... how about you?
